Tomas Barrios Vera vs Matteo Berrettini prediction
Tomas Barrios Vera enters the draw as a lucky loser. He lost in the second stage of qualifying to Dino Prizmic in straight sets. The Chilean won his first-round match at the Argentina Open last week as a result of Thiago Seyboth Wild’s retirement, but he was no match for Luciano Darderi in the next stage of the tournament, losing 6-1 6-3.
He faces former slam finalist Matteo Berrettini in the first-round. He has already begun his South American clay court swing as he finally got his 2026 campaign up and running in Buenos Aires. Berrettini defeated Federico Coria in his first-round match, but he was largely uncompetitive against Vit Kopriva as he lost in straight sets.
Berrettini will be hoping for a deeper run and a string of matches in Rio this week. If he is aggressive from the start, he should have too much for Barrios Vera in the first-round.
